Your name:
Andy.
Where are you from?
Sunderland, England.
Name of band:
One Man Revival.
Who else is in your band?
Kyle Smith & Wayne Glaister.
How would you describe yourselves?
Kind of a rock band with a subtle, mellow edge to our
sound at times… I didn’t want to be tarnished with the ‘one trick pony’ brush, so
we went out on a whim to do a bit of both acoustic and electric.
The band started off as an acoustic act, the ‘Revival’
part of the name is the other band members that have joined after this
point.
Who are your main influences musically?
We’re all into different music genres really, I’m into
more American rock (Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters etc) whilst Wayne is into
Alice Cooper, Slade and the Stereophonics, with Kyle being into Biffy Clyro,
Muse and Interpol! A band with many different musical tastes!
What do you hope to achieve in music?
We’re taking things one step at a time really, we’d love
to be going on massive tours and going around Europe, but c’est la vie
if it doesn’t happen!
As long as people keep coming to see us and keep singing
along, that’s all that matters J!
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
We’ve played a fair few ‘good’ shows now, but the best
place would be Montrose music Festival, the crowd there were just
fantastic, best feeling I’ve ever had in music is watching strangers dance to
your whole hour set. Unbelievable.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Erm, playing at the dog and parrot in Newcastle and as
soon as our opening music came on, everyone left. We didn’t even play one
second of music, just shows how fickle it can be at times!
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
If I had to choose only one song I would choose ‘In The
End’, It sums up the whole feel of the band totally. I wrote the riff whilst
just messing around on Waynes house one night, the song was wrote from start to
finish that night and it’s still our strongest song to date!

Anything else you’d like to say about your band/music
that I forgot to ask?
Maybe not just about ourselves really, but to anyone that
reads this. Support live and unsigned music, it’s not as easy for the ones
you’ve never heard of if you don’t give them the chance as we need people in to
keep us going!
